Saturation.

07.01.08 | 3 Comments | 13

I am saturated with information. I have everything at my fingertips. I want new music, I download it. I want to watch a movie, I stream it. I want to learn guitar, I download tabs. I want to learn new software, I download tutorials. I want to track my friends, I follow them on Twitter. I want to chat with them, I use Google Talk. Any viral video is available at any time. Everything I want to know about anything is on wikipedia. I check my Blackberry compulsively. I literally have no limitations. I can find, get, learn, anything. Anything.

It’s too much.

It is during these moments when I realize I can do anything, that I find myself wondering why I’m doing nothing. There are so many things I can be doing, that I need to be doing, and yet sometimes I can’t do anything. I’m bloated with possibilities. I’m stalled. Who would have thought even 20 years ago that the quest for knowledge could become so easy, so mundane and so overwhelming - so much so that it would lose it’s value.

God, with everything that I have available to me, it can be easy to de-prioritize Your role in my life. There will always be more material things that I can attain, and more personal goals that I can achieve. But don’t let me lose my place. Don’t let me lose my focus.

Saturation.

    Amen - I think I am addicted to receiving email … at least I can’t stand twitter though.
    God help us - please!

    Indeed.  I don’t know why I subject myself to twitter.  I … just … can’t … stop ;)

    Well said.  At least you are using the tools of saturation for good
